摘要: A test override circuit includes a memory that includes multiple memory instances. A path selector receives a control signal from automatic test pattern generator equipment (ATE) to control data access to data paths that are operatively coupled between the memory instances and a plurality of logic endpoints. The path selector generates an output signal that indicates which of the data paths is selected in response to the control signal. A gating circuit enables the selected data paths to be accessed by at least one of the plurality of logic endpoints in response to the output signal from the path selector.

摘要: A circuit includes a dynamic core data register (DCDR) cell that includes a data register, a shift register and an output circuit to route the output state of the data register or the shift register to an output of the DCDR in response to an output control input. A clock gate having a gate control input controls clocking of the shift register in response to a first scan enable signal. An output control gate controls the output control input of the output circuit and controls which outputs from the data register or the shift register are transferred to the output of the output circuit in response to a second scan enable signal. The first scan enable signal and the second scan enable signal to enable a state transition of the shift register at the output of the DCDR.

摘要: A circuit includes a multipath memory having multiple cells and a plurality of sequence generators. Each sequence generator of the plurality of sequence generators drives one separate cell of the multiple cells via an automatic test pattern generator (ATPG) mode signal for each cell. The ATPG mode signal for each cell is configured via a sequence configuration input that controls a timing sequence to test each cell. The state of the ATPG mode signal of each cell selects whether test data or functional data is output from the respective cell.

摘要: An integrated circuit, comprising functional circuitry and testing circuitry. A first set of pads is operable in a first state for communicating testing signals to the testing circuitry and operable in a second state for communicating input/output signals to the functional circuitry. A second set of pads, differing from the first set of pads, is operable in the second state for communicating testing signals to the testing circuitry for testing signals associated in the second state with the first set of pads.

摘要: A system is provided that includes a memory configured to store test patterns. A first lockstep core and a second lockstep core are configured to receive the same set of test patterns. First scan outputs are generated from the first lockstep core, and second scan outputs are generated from the second lockstep core during a reset of the first lockstep core and the second lockstep core. A comparator can be coupled to the first lockstep core and the second lockstep core and is configured to compare the first scan outputs to the second scan outputs. The first and second lockstep cores can be initialized to a similar state if the first and second scan outputs are the same. The first and second lockstep cores can comprise non-resettable flip flops.

摘要: A circuit includes a test circuit in an integrated circuit to test signal timing of a logic circuit under test in the integrated circuit. The signal timing includes timing measurements to determine if an output of the logic circuit under test changes state in response to a clock signal. The test circuit includes a bit register that specifies which bits of the logic circuit under test are to be tested in response to the clock signal. A configuration register specifies a selected clock source setting from multiple clock source settings corresponding to a signal speed. The selected clock source is employed to perform the timing measurements of the specified bits of the bit register.

摘要: A system includes a multiple input signature register (MISR) to receive outputs from M different scan chains in response to N test patterns applied to test an integrated circuit. The MISR provides N test signatures for the integrated circuit based on the outputs of the M different scan chains generated in response to each of the N test patterns. Each of the scan chains holds one or more test data bits that represent behavior of the integrated circuit in response to each of the N test patterns. A shift register is loaded from an interface and holds one of N comparison signatures that is used to validate a respective one of the N test signatures generated according to a given one of the N test patterns. A comparator compares each of the N test signatures with a respective one of the N comparison signatures to determine a failure condition based on the comparison.
